Description

Wild Hope by Marisa Bate tells the story of a woman's life, one that was marked by hope and resilience in the face of adversity. A photograph taken in 1974 reveals an untold story about her mother's experiences as a single mother and her struggles with the men in her life.

The book explores the changing world of women's fortunes in the 1970s, when Gloria Steinem, Dorothy Pitman Hughes, and the Roe v. Wade decision offered new opportunities for women. However, this progress seems to be at risk today, as women around the world face challenges from populism and a politics that thrives on divisiveness.

Marisa Bate's book is part of a long tradition of sharing women's stories, with a focus on understanding how the personal and political are intertwined. By filling in the gaps between 1974 and today, Bate sheds light on the struggles faced by women like her mother and offers a powerful exploration of hope and resilience.
